Fox News host Sean Hannity says he didn't have any discussions with the Department for Housing and Urban Development about getting help for his real estate investments.

Hannity is connected to a group of shell companies that spent $90 million in buying more than 870 homes in the past decade, the Guardian reported Sunday.

The British newspaper said it reviewed thousands of pages showing Hannity's investment strategy. In 2014, Hannity purchased two apartments in Georgia worth over $22 million and HUD helped him pay his mortgages, the Guardian reported.

"It is ironic that I am being attacked for investing my personal money in communities that badly need such investment and in which, I am sure, those attacking me have not invested their money," Hannity said in a statement Monday.

The Fox News host denied having any involvement with HUD.

"I have never discussed with anybody at HUD the original loans that were obtained in the Obama years, nor the subsequent refinance of such loans, as they are a private matter," he continued.

The properties were bought after banks foreclosed on the previous owners, according to the Guardian.
